@@TheDetourDuo I have two sons in their 20s, if and when you have the time could you do a video on Siesta Key bars and pubs, trying to get them to want to come with me to Siesta key

[@Kimberly-pf4iy]

Excellent and fun video. Thank you for posting. I'm from Connecticut and retired and moved to Tampa nearly 5 years ago. I've been enjoying my new life in Tampa. May be one of these days I will find myself visiting in Siesta Key. Happy travels to you both. ❤❤😊😊

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Where are you from in CT? I went to Trinity in Hartford. Siesta Key is a fun day trip. Haven't been in the summer yet though so I don't know how crazy it gets down there.

[@Kimberly-pf4iy]

@@TheDetourDuo How about that. What a small world. Glad to hear from you. I grew up in Hartford, then my parents bought a house in Bloomfield. Years later, I moved to East Hartford, then retired and moved to Tampa in 2018. It took some time getting used to a new state and new city, but I met some very nice people and became friends with them. So far, life has turned out quite nice for me here in Tampa. I hope it continues. Please continue with more of your videos. Both of you really enjoy each other's company and watching your videos are fun and uplifting. Thank you and God bless. ☺

Broken Egg Cafe food is looking really good. I'm a foodie lol.

lol so are we

[@awish13]

There’s another Broken Egg off the same exit you’d take to get to Siesta Key Rum! Fun Fact: Dick Vitale is a regular at the Broken Egg off University ☺️ Also, Siesta Key Rum is definitely worth a stop at. Next time you’re on Siesta check out The Cottage for dinner, so good! Safe travels ✈️

[@TheDetourDuo]

woah that's pretty cool. Didn't even know he lived in the area. I tried to stopped by on Sunday for a drink, but they were closed. Next time we're in the area for an O's game we'll stop through there for a tour. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@stuartkofron8011]

Just found your channel and I’m loving it. One thing people never mention is Mote Aquarium. I love that place and have been so many times. Have you two ever been together?

[@TheDetourDuo]

Nice suggestion. Hadn't even heard of it til you mentioned it.

[@skyfly120]

Good stuff! We're heading there soon. Hope the red tide has eases up!

[@TheDetourDuo]

I hope so too! Seems to be a bit better now. At least by St Pete it is

[@zzzarkka]

I went there 4 days ago on Sunday and there is no red tide. Came from Fort Myers since our beach is destroyed. SKB is way better anyways . It was my first time.

[@SamanthaFl]

Sadly red tide has been so bad these past few years. It's the cough for me. Siesta Key is such a beautiful beach and that soft sand.

[@TheDetourDuo]

It was a little rough Surprised anyone was at the beach at all with the amount of coughing going on, but I guess if that's your vacation you have to make the most of it. But you're right that beach is amazing!

Hahaha, I love Tony's professor look while explaining red tide. He looks so dapper!"Flat feet like a beaver" I am dead. It didn't hit us as hard in Clearwater Beach but I did see some dead fish :( and it tickled my throat and eyes.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Haha so dapper! Yeah the air was super irritating. Hopefully it clears up soon

[@GrimJaw]

My fiancé and I love the videos. Please give us a recommendation for a beach during October in Florida if you have one!

[@TheDetourDuo]

We are always partial to gulf side beaches! Keep in mind, October will still be hurricane season. But we love St Pete Beach, Bean Point on Anna Maria Island, and Destin

[@GrimJaw]

@@TheDetourDuo thank you so much I appreciate it!

[@michaelking4578]

I went to Siesta Key beach and there was red tide down near Turtle beach but not at Siesta beach. It kicked my butt when we were there back in 2021.

[@TheDetourDuo]

That was the first time for us actually going to the beach doing red tide. Kicked our butt too! Didn't think it would be that hard to breathe

been getting a bit obsessed with learning more animations lately, especially with maps. Probably Vox and Johnny Harris to blame for that

[@Explorcation]

Aww you two made the most of the day even with red tide 😊 I hope you do get to go back soon and really enjoy the beach when the red tide has cleared up. I was curious where this rum tasting was going to take place 😆

[@TheDetourDuo]

haha should have looked more into it. would have included it in the Sarasota video had I known but with the name Siesta Key rum and a nickname of drum circle distillery you'd think it would be closer to Siesta Key lol

[@fgabrielas]

do you know how long de red tide usualy takes to cleared up ?

[@TheDetourDuo]

It can vary but we just got in the ocean last week and it wasn’t irritating anymore!

[@Explorcation]

@@TheDetourDuo riight? you sure would. I was hoping that it was a new place out on Siesta...it would give us another reason to get back out there. While we absolutely love St Pete, we do miss being closer to Siesta/Lido/Longboat.

Hi guys! i want to say great video quality and content i have a question i have a sony a7iv and i was wondering did you guys record on s log 3 by any chance i love the color and the quality it crazy my brother in law's leave there ans we go every summer and last summer we deal also with the red tigh i came to this channel yesterday because we going this jun to visit again and you guys came up so now we have different places to go to we recommend you guys to coquina beach it is heaven but yeah keep thise great video coming🙏🏼👍🏼

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks for the recommendation, and the kind words. I shoot mostly on the A7SIII S-Log 3 profile. I also use a mixture of 360 and DJI D-Cinelike raw files. (Still having trouble matching colors between cameras). However, it really started to click a lot better for me when I discovered phantom luts for the sony. I know that sounds like an ad, but there really are the best luts I've ever used. Just follow the instructions for how to set your zebras and you're golden. let me see if I have a link

[@TheDetourDuo]

here you go. these work on pretty much all sony's cameras that shoot 10-bit SLOG3. I use the ARRI looks. www.joelfamularo.com/colour-a7s3

[@DellMara]

I enjoyed your video. it's such a beautiful area. Do you know how often there is a red tide? I am wondering if it could be a deterrent from living/buying in the area. We are considering moving to Florida and weighing between the east and west coast. I am wondering if the red tide allergy affects go beyond the beach? Thanks.🙂

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you. red tide is usually once or twice a year. typically August to December but this year's bloom was really late. Gulf side of Florida is definitely better if you ask us, and worth dealing with red tide once a year. It mostly hits from Clearwater and Sanibel Island. Farther inland isn't as bad for allergies.

We've had a couple subscribers comment and tell us it's gone now. You're pretty safe in May though. Typically it's seasonal and occurs any time from Aug-Dec, although this year it happened a lot later than normal.

Who says it's number 1??? 😅...I've live here for 15 years and I personally have been to many many beaches that are much much more fun and interesting than Siesta Beach...

The sign on the beach says that. We did not give it that ranking. But if you want to see who else gives it a top ranking, it populates on Google searches as one of the best Florida beaches in most of the articles.

[@YcuTubeLiesTooYou]

Why would anybody take advise from someone who's visiting for less then 24 hours? Been here over a decade and this video is a insult to our island .
